We will be traveling a fair distance for the 4Th of July weekend and I wanted to make sure the bearings were sufficiently packed. I haven't traveled far since purchasing my tt a year ago but I want no trouble. I assumed the seals would be of a common type that my local napa would stock. Nope. Anyone wanting seals in hand before servicing their wheel bearings the seals are Dexter number k71-303-00. I matched up NAPA # 16747. The napa seals are completely rubber coated so make sure they as well as the hub are clean and dry before tapping in (the out side of the seal, the lip needs to be greased). By the way the bearings where very well greased, I re-packed them anyway since I had them apart..

I just traveled approx. 800 miles with my TT and noticed squeaking going on, so I am assuming I the wheel bearings need to be looked at. I talked to the serviceman at the dealer and he said he'd repack them for $150. Does that sound about right?

I would avoid the use of bearing buddies. The excess grease will be forced past the seal and potentially onto the brake shoes.

My utility trailer has bearing buddies but no brakes. The back of the wheels are covered with grease from the previous owner using the bearing buddies. The grease forced through the inner bearing has to go somewhere. If grease only passed through the outer bearing and ended up in the void between the bearings there would be no problem but the inner bearing would not receive any grease.

Greetings:
I am getting my 16BH (w/electric brakes) ready for another summer and want to repack the wheel bearings. Has anyone in this forum performed this task on their trailer? Is it fairly straight forward? I guess my mechanical skills would be listed as semi-handy

I cheated and had it done at the dealer! I wanted them to check my brakes anyway because I occasionally get some "singing" from the brakes.

It's very easy and straight forward…if you know what your doing.
A common mistake many inexperienced people make is over-packing.
Excess grease will find it way to your breaks and I don't think I have to elaborate on the potential results.
Reco you get it done professionally if you really believe it's required.
